Disastrous Home Renovations Designed And Executed By Our Pets

Jennifer Hillhouse | March 8, 2024 11:29 pm

Not everyone can just wake up and be good at home decor and renovation—that's why people usually go to school for it. However, pets have that special kind of confidence where they think they can just roll out of their comfy pet beds and be the fabulous architects and interior designers they know they can be. And they really, really shouldn't.

Here are some pets who took beauty in the home into their own hands and whose owners are definitely going to be stuck cleaning up the mess. But nobody's really angry, not after looking at their sweet faces for more than a millisecond.

So, it turns out that turtles are the kinds of shoddy home contractors that we've probably had in our house. They're there for one night and already something new is broken, but they refuse to leave before they finish the job. We appreciate your dedication little buddy, but asking me to pay for what you're doing is a hard shell.

This dog is going places. They're reinventing the ball pit but making it comfortable, chic, and weirdly reminiscent of pillow stuffing. This definitely isn't stuffing though, don't get confused. It's one of a kind work.

This dog saw all the pets doing some serious home renos and thought they'd take it a step further and reorganize the fridge. They've clearly been reading up on their nutrition literature because they know that diet success happens by pushing the mayo to the back of the fridge. On purpose, of course.

This is what happens when your dog starts thinking that your home needs to be more runway ready. This little guy brought the runway to the stairs with only a few dozen rolls of toilet paper. It's not destruction, it's fashion, duh.

This water bottle stash is clearly an aesthetic choice and not the work of a bored cat trying to get you to spill your drink. It's basically textured polka dots, and it's all the rage for your under-couch-carpet.

This gardener thought the only thing better than a garden was another garden... indoors of course. Why not? The way the dirty and the plants are strewn all over the floor really compliments the space and your socks when you accidentally tread through it.

This is a couponing queen right here and they're bringing their side-hobby front and center to the kitchen floor. Is this a functional floor? No. But is it one with a bundle of savings? Oh, yes.

This dog is asking the hard questions we're all too afraid to ask. Why have a throw pillow and a blanket when you can just have a couple of hundred feathers to do both jobs? Okay, maybe it's messy, but it's also practical.

These cats had almost completed their feline tower of power and reached the food until the human came in and interrupted their building. They say never interrupt an artist at work... because who knows what will happen next.

This cat is either an expert planker or an expert interior decorator who knows that baby trays are clearly designed for cats. I'm thinking the latter only because it bothered to coordinate its fur to the whole black and white color scheme that's going on.

This dog saw the carpet and thought that it clearly wasn't chaotic enough for its taste. So it got down to business and really just tore the living daylights out of some unsuspecting Charmin. As one does.

This designer's first thing on their list of must-haves for items around the home wasn't toilets or pantries or things like that—it was a minibar. Look, we're not asking questions or anything, but we'd like to see some ID.

This cat is shocked because they really thought that they did a good job retouching the floor and that their owner would like it. Maybe it would help if they knocked over the fish tank instead? Maybe they really wanted a water feature?

Here's another good boy who knows that packages left around the home aren't necessarily meant to stay as decor in the home. Why not reuse them as fashionable items? That's just eco-friendly and super stylin'. But maybe a bit dark and hard to breathe in.

This cat is a maid on a mission. They heard about that dust you've been procrastinating on cleaning from on top of your TV and decided to take matters into their own hands. Just um, could someone get the door?

This is a fashion-forward dog right here. They're making bold choices about what parts of the body which pieces of clothing should occupy. Why should underwear always be under clothes? Why not completely ripped down the seams and stretched through a paw? I'm not seeing any reasons not to.

This home improvement expert wouldn't stop drinking on the job and would apparently do this every time their client would leave the room. This is downright unprofessional, but because they're so cute I'm leaving a five-star Yelp review anyway.
